CSDDD requires in-scope companies to identify and address adverse human-rights and environmental impacts in their operations, subsidiaries, and relevant chains of activities. CommonShare helps teams organize the relationships, evidence, actions, and reporting behind that work.
ESPR: Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
ESPR creates a framework for sustainability requirements across almost all physical products sold in the EU. Product-specific delegated acts will define the precise rules; CommonShare helps companies connect product, material, supplier, and impact data so they can adapt as those rules arrive.
EUDR: EU Deforestation Regulation
EUDR requires covered commodities and products to be deforestation-free, produced in accordance with relevant local law, and supported by due diligence. CommonShare helps operators collect geolocation and chain-of-custody data, assess risk, close gaps, and prepare due-diligence records.
CBAM: Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
CBAM puts a carbon price on embedded emissions in certain carbon-intensive imports. CommonShare helps importers connect customs lines, suppliers, installations, calculation evidence, and review workflows so emissions data is complete and defensible.
LkSG: German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act
The LkSG establishes human-rights and environmental due-diligence duties for large companies in Germany. CommonShare helps teams structure responsibilities, risk analysis, preventive measures, corrective actions, grievance records, and reusable evidence while the legal framework evolves.
REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals
REACH places responsibility on companies to understand and manage chemical risks. For products and articles, that means maintaining substance and supplier information, tracking list changes, communicating required information, and supporting registration, authorization, restriction, or notification duties where applicable.
UFLPA: Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act
UFLPA creates a rebuttable presumption that certain goods connected to Xinjiang or entities on the UFLPA Entity List are prohibited from U.S. entry. CommonShare helps teams map multi-tier supply chains, screen parties and locations, organize origin evidence, and coordinate time-sensitive responses.
CPSIA: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act
CPSIA strengthened U.S. consumer-product safety requirements, especially for children’s products. Related certificate and eFiling duties also arise under the CPSA and other CPSC-enforced rules. CommonShare connects applicable rules to product versions, tests, certificates, factories, and entries.
PEF: Product Environmental Footprint
Product Environmental Footprint is the EU’s life-cycle-assessment method for measuring a product’s environmental impacts. It is not a standalone regulation, but it provides harmonized rules that can support product policy, claims, procurement, and category-specific comparisons.
EU Batteries: Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
The EU Batteries Regulation combines product requirements, carbon-footprint rules, supply chain due diligence, recycled-content information, QR codes, and digital battery passports. CommonShare helps teams govern the product, material, facility, supplier, calculation, and evidence records behind those duties.
EU Forced Labour: EU Forced Labour Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 prohibits products made with forced labour from being placed or made available on the EU market or exported from the EU. CommonShare helps teams map product supply chains, screen risk signals, preserve due-diligence evidence, manage investigations, and coordinate corrective action.
PPWR: Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 creates harmonized rules for packaging sustainability, recyclability, recycled content, minimization, labeling, conformity, and waste management. CommonShare helps teams govern packaging specifications, supplier evidence, calculations, declarations, and market records as phased requirements take effect.
GPSR: EU General Product Safety Regulation
The GPSR modernizes EU general product-safety rules for non-food consumer products, including online sales. CommonShare helps businesses connect product and operator traceability to risk assessments, technical documentation, incident evidence, recalls, and authority communications.
EU Conflict Minerals: EU Conflict Minerals Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2017/821 requires in-scope EU importers of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold to operate OECD-aligned supply chain due diligence. CommonShare helps teams map upstream relationships, collect origin and transaction evidence, screen conflict-affected areas, manage risk, and preserve audit and disclosure records.
SCIP: SCIP Database Obligations
